Russian activists, Pussy Riot, have released a new video for their song, “Like A Red Prison.” The video takes a big swing at the Russian oil industry and was filmed atop oil mining equipment. You can watch it here.

By now you should know that 3 Pussy Riot members were arrested in connection to their “punk prayer” protest against Vladimir Putin, which occurred in February 2012 at Christ the Saviour Cathedral in Moscow. One member has since been released but 2 still remain in custody, sparking protests around the globe.

If you’re interested in getting involved with the Pussy Riot solidarity movement, there is a Facebook event with information as well as a Free Pussy Riot website with details about global action.

Hellwinners are a 3-piece melodic punk band hailing from Brighton, UK. Since forming in late 2014, they have released two great EPs, with the most recent being July 15th's Lynchpin. If you like punk rock that's melodic and fast, I highly recommend giving it a listen below.
